Safety notes
G
Risk of accident
For safety reasons, only enter a new desti-
nation when the vehicle is stationary. You
may otherwise be distracted from the traffic
conditions, cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.
COMAND calculates the route to the desti-
nation without taking account of the follow-
ing, for example:
Traffic lights
Stop and give way signs
Parking or stopping prohibited signs
Lane narrowing
Other road and traffic controls and reg-
ulations
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the reality does not corre-
spond to the data in the digital map. For ex-
ample, if the traffic routing has been
changed or the direction of a one-way road
has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic controls and reg-
ulations during your journey. Road and traf-
fic controls and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands gen-
erated by the system.

Map software
The digital maps generated by the map
software become outdated in the same
way as conventional road maps. Optimum
route guidance can only be provided by the
navigation system in conjunction with the
most up-to-date map software.
Information about new map software ver-
sions can be obtained from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Updating the map software
You can update the map software yourself
using a DVD.
Notes about handling DVDs
Only hold discs by the edge.
Handle discs carefully to prevent read
problems.
Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints
and dust on discs.
Use a commercially-available cleaning
cloth to clean discs. Do not wipe them
with a circular motion, but only in
straight lines from the centre out-
wards.
Place discs back in their cases after
use.
